    So last night I was a tad tired, about to go to bed, and ended up playing with my phone, as you do. I went into the hidden diagnostics menu thing and had a play around with the tests and stuff, simply because I was bored. Then I went for the "Factory reset" option without thinking. It didn't even ask, "Are you sure?"! Which means I lost every single damn photo I've ever taken on the thing (including a photo I took of me and a girl I met at a bar back in Brisbane when I was down there back in Feburary - thank **** I still have her number!!!), as well as every single text message I've sent this year. Its only a cheapie, so it doesn't have bluetooth or any support for removable storage, so don't hassle me about backing up - were I able to, I would have!!!!

    Oh well, I guess it could be worse - I could've lost all my numbers too - which thank **** were backed up onto my SIM!

    When working with computers years ago I had a rule...

    "Never ever delete files after midnight":)
    (this was in the DOS days before the recycle bin came about)

    How do you do it, or what phones do you buy? :eek: I had a Nokia 1100 (candybar) for nearly 3 years, still have it actually, and still use it sometimes (when the LG is being recharged mostly), and she's still going strong. Now I have an LG that i picked up for 69 bucks earlier on in the year, only because I thought it was about time I got a cameraphone.

    I had a friend drop his phone into his beer when we were out one night. Pulled it out and it was still good, so he did it again and it hasn't worked since

    Haha reminds me of my 3315..... I spilt beer in it, and the screen went back the front and upside down, last a couple of days then come back to life.... I figured it was drunk. Funnily enough this happened alot of time (nearly every weekend thanks to me always leaving my phone on the table), the longest it lasted was two weeks, before it came back to life. That phone just wouldnt die.
